What the visions of aging in a graying world? This panel explores the diversity of representations of youth and aging from Asia, Australia, Africa and North and South America. It seeks perspectives that cross religious, ethnic and national boundaries. We are interested in both the differing and common themes in artistic and cultural portrayals of the stages of human life from around the world. 300+word abstracts to Ted Anton, tanton@depaul.edu
